The probe report submission date in a case filed over the 2012 killing of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi has been deferred for the 111th time.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Mahbubul Haque passed the order on Sunday as Investigation Officer Khondoker Md Shafiqul Alam, also an Additional Superintendent of Police at RAB, failed to submit the report on the scheduled day.

Earlier on May 16, the same court asked RAB to submit the investigation report by Sunday.

Sagar, news editor with private TV channel Maasranga, and his wife Runi, senior reporter with ATN Bangla, were killed in the early hours of February 11 in  2012, in their rented flat in the capitals West Razabazar.

Their only son Mahir Sarowar Megh, then 5, was at home at that time.

Nousher Ali Roman, Runis brother, filed a case with Sher-e-Bangla Police Station on the following day.

Four days later, the investigation was handed over to Dhaka Metropolitan Polices (DMP) Detective Branch (DB).

On April 18, 2012, some 62 days after they got the investigation duty, DB accepted its failure. The court then instructed RAB to investigate the case.

Eight people, including Runis friend Tanvir Rahman, were accused in the case.

The seven other suspects are Rafiqul Islam, Bakul Mia, Abu Syed, Mintu alias Baggira Mintu alias Masum Mintu, Quamrul Hasan alias Arun, security guard Enam Ahmed alias Humayun Kabir and Palash Rudra Pal.
